First brewed in1996, our flagship Muskoka Cream Ale has since become a signature beer of the Muskoka region. Unmistakable with its rich amber colour and inviting floral tones, this laid-back English pub-style ale is smooth and easy-going. With a Cascade hoppiness and fuller body of flavour, this gold-medal winning Canadian Cream Ale is the quintessential taste of cottage country. Raise a glass.

The carbonation is quite mild, but no pushover either, the body creamy, well smooth, and medium full in weight. It finishes off-dry, the soft graininess and persistent hops doing well to tango to the end.

An inoffensive easy-drinking session ale, with a pleasing hop kick, to boot, in the Ontario tradition of mild English-style ales, awakened to the possibilities inherent in New World hops.

Clear amber/orange body. Has a solid two finger white head with decent retention. Nice lacing. I expected this beer to be paler than this, the colour is a pleasant surprise.

Sweet grain, biscuit, toast, and caramel aromas are all present. There's a faint grassy scent lurking around the edges.

Tastes the way it smells. Caramel. A little toasty. Slightly buttery as well. Grassy hops in the background. It's a little bit sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. Very mild bitterness in the finish. As it warms, the toasted bread comes out a bit more, and some fruit flavour develops.

Light bodied and spritzy, a little bit on the watery side. A thirst quencher for a hot summers day.

An average beer, but likely reformulated since these early reviews. Smell originally malty and fruity, then plain after warming up to room temperature. Short lived head. Creamy and malty, with a spot of fruit. OK with dinner at the end of a summer day.

A - clear light copper and extremely bubbly to the point of being ridiculous, as such the head was huge and would not go anywhereS - some grainy and adjunct aromas, mild leafiness, fairly basic hereT - grain and adjunct with a grassy and metallic hop flavour similar to saazM - started very carbonated but got flat as it fizzed itself out, somewhat thin and slightly dryO - its close to average but has just enough flavour to keep it semi interesting, i might not buy a 6 pack of this but not problem having it included as part of a mixer, would also make a decent option on tap

355 ml bottle. Pours golden with a fingers worth of light foamy cream head. Nose is pale malts and a bit of creamsicle. Taste is similiar; lager esque with the pale malt and grassyness. Little bit of creamsicle flavour I'm the middle. Body is light to medium. Dry in the middle. Overall, not a bad revisit but nothing outstanding. This brewery shines with their newer Mad Tom ipa and the seasonal releases. This beer was one of the original lineup mediorce beers they produced before stepping up the craft experiments recently.

I think Muskoka is one of the better Breweries here in Ontario, however I do find they still make "standard" beers that the average Canadian Enjoys, nevertheless, i like to try their beer to see if something stands out or is interesting...

The cream ale pours a slightly hazy light copper with a small, minor head. The nose is subtle, nothing really obvious.. Maby a touch of malt but thats it. Very gentle.Taste is nice, warming and smooth. Very subtle lemony hops with a fruity bite. Mild "cream" in there as the mouthfeel is light but smooth.

Overall, easy drinking, mildly flavorfull. WOuld be easy to drink a bunch of these but certainly nothing profound in the beer world!

Caramel malt, some butteriness, nice hop profile. No complexity, just a pleasant clean and fresh taste. Decently balanced. The finish is slightly dry and quite wheaty. A little more watery than I'd like.

The mouthfeel is good and I'd rate it 4.0 if it weren't a cream ale. Good feel for a beer, but too thin as a cream ale. Solid medium body and moderate carbonation.

This is a drinkable beer, no troubles here. I don't know how much this comes off as a cream ale. It's more like a pretty decent pale ale leaning towards being a cream ale, though it would probably be quite nice on nitro-tap. I'd be happy to find this on tap somewhere. Quite similar to the other OCB offerings, fairly well-brewed but lacking in character. Nothing wrong with it, just pretty uninteresting. Hopefully these beers converted some Molson, Labatt and Sleeman fans away from macro swill and onto some fresh, local, decently made brews like these. All were better than their big-brewery counterparts.

A- Pours a light copper color, and is very clear. The head is not overly thick and settles to a thick-ish film that is white in color. There's lots of bubbly goodness rising to the top. Lacing is modest and on the thin side. Not a bad looking beer, just nothing to write home about.

S- Overall, a bland smelling ale. On the front of the nose is some sweet malt, that reminds me of caramel. No hops to speak of and not much else to note here.

T- Actually, this is pleasant on the palate, if not a little underwhelming....it is sweet and malty, maybe with a little bit of fruitiness hiding in the background. It has a hint of banana to be exact. The finish is very modestly hopped. It isn't offensive or anything, just a little easy going for this style IMO.

M- A nice buttery texture glides over the palate, as it should with this style. The carbonation is a little zingy but fine enough that it doesn't last long. The body is medium-ish. Nice overall.

D- This wouldn't be hard honestly to make a go to beer for something reasonably light, not overpowering flavor wise, nor carbonation wise. This would be a very good example of a starter ale for someone trying to expand out of macro lager! I'll probably pick this up again sometime.

Bottle: Poured a yellowish ale with a nice smooth head with average retention. Creamy palate with nice floral malt and low hops presence. Body is slightly above average. Overall, this is above your run of the mills Ontario easy drinking beer but it isnt a great beer either.

This is one of my go-to easy drinking beers. Finally got around to reviewing it. Poured in to tulip glass.

A - Medium orange colour with yellow and ruby glow around the edges. Half a finger of white head formed and quickly receded to a ring around the edges of the glass.

S - Sweet caramel malts with a touch of toffee balanced by a floral hop aroma.

T - Follows the nose. Floral and earthy hops with a crisp bitterness balanced by a sweet caramel malt backbone. Very easy drinking while still having good flavour. Not getting the cascade hops at all (as advertised on the label).
